Answer:
The correct answer is feet
Explanation:
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar unveiled a 70 feet tall statue of Lord Buddha at Rajgir in Nalanda district. It is the second tallest Buddha statue in the country.
Key facts
The statue was installed over a 16-meter radius pedestal in the middle of the Ghora Katora lake. It was made of 45,000 cubic feet of pink sandstone. Ghora Katora is a natural lake surrounded by five hills. The area around the lake and the statue has been transformed into a beautiful park from the point of view of ecotourism. No petrol or diesel vehicles will be allowed to enter this area and only electronic vehicles will be allowed.
Nálanda was originally known as the shrine of Shariputra, one of the Buddha's followers. It was visited by the Buddha and Ashoka, the Mauryan emperor, however, there are very few archaeological remains from this early period. Nalanda soon became a major center of Mahayana Buddhist studies, and by the 7th century scholars from all over Asia were visiting and studying in the monasteries and universities. Over time, its importance waned, until in the 13th-century Muslim influence in the area increased and Nalanda was abandoned by Buddhists. Today, the site consists of a row of nine ruined Buddhist monasteries and four two-story square temples with raised central shrines. The exterior was decorated with pilasters and paintings set into niches. Nalanda played an influential role in Indian artistic production and produced a large number of Mahayana Buddhist sculptures. Sculptures from this site appear in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, as well as museums in Patna and New Delhi.
